Adelaide
is
the
capital
of
South
Australia.
In
terms
of
distance
from
other
Australian
cities,
Adelaide
is
about
1,400
km
from
Sydney
(1
hour
40
minutes
by
air),
900
km
from
Melbourne
(1
hour
by
air),
and
2,400
km
from
Perth
(3hours
by
air).
Adelaide
is
a
friendly
and
safe
city
with
almost
one
million
people
living
within
the
metropolitan
area.
The
size
of
the
city
is
perfect
-
small
enough
to
be
friendly
and
welcoming,
yet
large
enough
to
provide
plenty
of
attractions
and
entertainment.
